Tennis Named Finalist for Highest Team GPA

May 09, 2011

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Three men’s teams, soccer, track
and hockey, and three women’s teams, softball, volleyball and
tennis, have been named finalists for the highest team GPA honor
for the 2010-11 academic year.

The men’s soccer team, which had 20 student-athletes named
to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll in the fall for posting a
GPA above 3.0, leads the way on the men’s side with a 3.197
GPA. Robbie Sabadoz (Ottawa, ON) was named to the
Northeast-10 All-Academic team in the fall.

In its first year of competition, the men’s track team has
shined on and off the field, while the hockey team had 15
student-athletes with a 3.0 GPA or better in the fall on its way to
best Division I season in school history.

On the women’s side, softball and volleyball posted
virtually identical GPA’s in the fall.

A finalist last year for the award and the winner in 2008-09,
softball had 16 honorees on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll in
the fall, while nine of 10 volleyball student-athletes were also
represented, led by Heidi Wroblicky’s (Irvine,
CA) perfect 4.0 GPA.

Last year’s female team winner, the women’s tennis
team, edged field hockey for the third finalist position with a
3.28 GPA.

In all, 15 of 20 intercollegiate teams at Merrimack boast a GPA
of 3.0 or better, while two other teams are within fractions of a
point to reach the 3.0 plateau.

The winners will be announced at student-athlete orientation in
early September before the 2011-12 season.

This week, Merrimack is unveiling the finalists for its
major awards online at merrimackathletics.com. The winners will all
be announced at the student-athlete orientation in early
September.
